Loss in appetite 4months baby

2018-04-09 06:06:17
Hi my 4 month baby has suddenly stopped drinking milk she is on formula (similar). She used to drink 120-150 but now it's really difficult to make her feed even 60ml.. I gave her colicade assuming gas but no improvement.. She is active and playing.. Urine 8-10times in 24hrs. Passing stool in every alternate day.. What can I do to take her back to her earlier drinking habit

Urine output and physical activity are the main two indicators of adequate oral intake at this age. As you yourself claim,both are normal,so relax! Give feeds ONLY on demand,i.e at a gap of atleast 3 to 3-1/2 hours. Maintain strict hygiene in preparation and giving feeds.
